Treatment For Termite Infestation

Termites are known across Australia as ‘white ants’. These regular household pests create untold levels of damage to houses in Doonside Western Sydney every year, creating a strong need for termite inspection.

Termite Removal/Protection Processes

There are various potential treatments for termites, so let us have alook at them briefly. There’s two main management strategies performed for termite pest control: one is the total eradication of the colony via baiting, and the other is using chemical treatment to produce a barrier between the home and the colony. Call us today to find out more on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

In Doonside, chemical treatments are the more frequently applied management strategy to eradicate white ants. However, interception and baiting for colony eradication has its’ own benefits that should not be dismissed.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
